Izzy & Guy chose the incredible Donington Park Hotel for their wedding last September.
Surrounded by the amazing Donington Park racecourse, Izzy got ready at the venue. Guy chose to prepare for the day at home before arriving to greet their guests. Once his nerves had settled after a beer or two he entered the main barn to await the arrival of his bride.
As this Wedding was very personal to Izzy & Will, Izzy chose to do her own make up on her own hair knowing exactly how she wanted it. The finished look and what she wanted, was to allow herself to spend more time with her bridesmaids. This also meant she could spend time with her Mum and little boy in the main farmhouse during preparation.
Wedding Details.
This wasn’t the first time that I had photographed a wedding at Donington Park farmhouse. I was very aware of the old pigsty wedding breakfast room, so managed to make sure that I had time to capture all of the little details. This was created by Hollie Fox and Princess who collaborated on it for their wedding breakfast.
Guy was blown away with how the the stunning simple, large wedding dress that Izzy was wearing. He looked back at her as she walked down the aisle with her dad. Her bridesmaids, page boy and floor girl walked ahead of her to be in position ready to receive her as she arrived to Guy.
They were married upon the main stage with two readings from Guys dad and Izzys sister throughout the ceremony. The short ceremony was full of love and closeness between the bride and groom, with them never breaking their hands other than to exchange rings.

Winter wedding portraits at Donington Park Farmhouse
We managed to catch the portraits after the wedding breakfast at the front of the farm overlooking the Derbyshire countryside. This allowed us to utilise the golden hour for those stunning long shadowed warm feeling unposed couple shots.
The bride and groom had requested a handful of traditional group photographs with the closest of people to them, their parents, siblings and grandparents. We complete these pre-wedding breakfast as we didn’t have too much time before we were set to move inside.
The evening party was beautify arranged with their son wanting to show his best moves during the first dance. This opened the dancing up until the night ended.
Grandma was showing her best shapes whist the whole of the bridal party were singing. One to never be forgotten.

Donington Park Farmhouse is a very popular wedding venue located at Isley Walton, Derbyshire. Located closely to the Donington Park racetrack, you can hear in the distance the revving engines of the racing cars and bikes near by.
The venue itself has a very close link with my photographic career as it is the first wedding venue that I had worked at when I graduated from university. I love being commissioned to work back at this venue as it can be a very challenging in the main barn with the low light availability but this always allows for the most atmospheric, relaxed wedding ceremony.
Surrounding Donington Park
Being surrounded with picturesque villages, many other hotels and lodges, with good linking roads, if you have too many guests there are plenty of beds in the local area for your guests.
Not only that but with easy access to East Midlands airport you could be on route to your idealistic honeymoon without having to trap for more than 15 minutes to get to the airport! On the other hand, if you are honeymooning in England, the Derbyshire dales are just on the doorstep with lovely villages such as Bakewell, Chatsworth and Ashbourne to visit.
